Hong Kong health officials warn that the summer flu season may start earlier than usual this year, with a peak expected in late June or July, and urge vaccinations to protect against increased influenza activity.

• Hong Kong may enter its summer flu season earlier than usual this year, with a peak likely in late June or July.

• The absence of a winter flu season this year could lead to more severe summer flu cases due to low public immunity.
